potatoes onion bacon

This quick, easy pasta dish takes as long as it takes to cook the pasta itself. It is a savory combination of sweet green peas with crisp onions and bacon.

Penne Pasta, Peas and Bacon

olive oil

yellow onion

peas

bacon

penne pasta ()

heavy cream

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Halfway thru cooking the pasta,  add the frozen peas to the water. Refer to package cooking instructions minus 1 minute so the penne pasta will be at dente.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add the olive oil over medium-high, and add the finely diced onions and the bacon. Cook until the bacon and onions are crisp but not burned. 

Drain the pasta and peas and add them to the onion bacon mixture. Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream.

Stir well, add more cream if needed and serve immediately.

Bacon truly makes everything better! This recipe was packed with flavor and I loved the texture the peas added. Thanks for sharing this goodness!

This is awesome, the pasta is great and the sauce that envelopes it is superb it has its gentleness that comes together with the texture of both the peas and pasta.

This recipe is my new favorite pasta dinner! I'm loving the crispy onions, bacon and peas together with the pasta, such a comfort food pasta!

Delicious!!!!  Will definitely make again.  I did use some white wine to deglaze the pan after cooking the bacon and onions.  Didn’t want all those good bits to go to waste.  Thanks for the great recipe.

Great recipe and easy to use other ingredients, I have used ham or Italian sausage removed from casings and fried instead of bacon..I think you could add canned tuna towards the end....I use 1/2 &amp;1/2...it is rich enough when you add the the cheese...I have used different pasta as well...fettucini...or spaghetti broken in 1/2.  Sometimes I add a few red pepper flakes..for spice...This is an easy recipe...and so delicious . Do try thus!

i have been making a variation of this for years.  Instead of bacon I brown i pound of breakfast sausage, and instead of cream, i use 1  1/4 cup water and 1 chicken boullion cube and top it with Parmesan cheese.  I am excited to try your version.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that your recipe was delicious. It was the first recipe that I cooked on my new large skillet, and I was so happy with how it turned out. I searched the internet for a pasta or mac recipe, and I was not disappointed when I found yours. My family and I loved it so much that I’m planning to make it again on Christmas Eve. I’m even going to add it to my list of favorite recipes! 😊
